The influence of Mulligan ankle taping during balance performance in subjects with unilateral chronic ankle instability.

Objective: To determine whether Mulligan ankle tape influenced the performance in subjects with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) during static balance; postural sway recovery patterns after hopping and dynamic tracking balance tasks.

Design: A cross-sectional, within-subjects experimental study design between 4 ankle conditions (taped; untaped: injured and uninjured).

Participants: 20 volunteer recreational athletes with unilateral CAI were recruited.
